50 YEARS OF COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Since our founding in 1959, many of our products have been environmentally preferred and green.

This began with our very first product, Liquid Organic Cleaner (L.O.C.®), which was one of the first biodegradable cleaning products on the market.

Ever since this time, Amway has continued to design new products and manage our business around environmentally sound, sustainable principles such as our organic farming practices, waste management and packaging principles, and the use of sustainable and/or recycled resources where ever possible.

SUSTAINABILITY

Amway approaches sustainability through our actions in the community, the environment and our products.

The company's goals cover major areas including reduced greenhouse gas, more alternative energy use, reduced water consumption, and less waste and increased recycling.

Other specific areas of commitment include reducing packaging content, making durable goods more recyclable and making products like laundry detergent more sustainable.

We make every effort to reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible and importantly, we measure the impact of our efforts.

In Australia, Amway has cut greenhouse gas emissions by 680 tonnes a year through more efficient lighting, whilst water use has been slashed by 1.1 million litres annually. Amway Australia also recycles 99% of incoming shipping cartons and packages products in 100% recyclable materials.
